AN IMPORTANT BILL.

The bill just presented by Mr.. Tucker
reminds everybody Of the famous Airing
ton case in which citizens property
was in the hands of officers OF the law.
The point at issue was whether the
citizen whose property was seized could
get case against the Government ana
get possession Of his property 1t 1t had
been unlawfully seized. The United
States Supreme Court in that case did
thing that showed its character to the
fullest demand Of our free Government.
1t gave Gusts Lee damages for the
seizure of his property in the amount OF
its full value, and thereby set the pre-
cedent that the right of the citizen, though
shadowed so much by prejudice, was
paramount to everything within the pale
Of justice.
Mr.. fuckers bill is applicable to an
immense amount Of little claims that are
generally made the subject of bills to Con
gress and refers such things to court
but it also covers the disputed ground in
the Arlington case. and fills the gap be-
tween the power of the Government IN
times of trouble and the constant stand
ing right of the citizen.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL.

The passage Of the interstate com
merce bill through the Senate indicates
that the Conference Committee OF the
two Houses of Congress had done very
able piece Of work in presenting a law
that should operate to control certain
abuses in railway traffic, and at the same
time put the law under the construction
of a commission in cases Of doubt. This
act, if it passes the House will, Of course,
be modified hereafter as requirements
arise: but the great point is that the
barrier has been broken down that pro-
tected great corporations against any
question of their high privileges, and the
way being thus opened another phase OF
reform will soon be seen.
According to this bill all charges for
service rendered in the transportation Of
passengers or property, it is provided
in the first section, shall be reasonable
and just" and every unjust and unrea-
sonable charge is prohibited and declared
to be unlawful. This requirement applies
not only 10 the carriage of passengers or
property, but also to all services there
with connected, such as receiving, deliver
ing, storage or handling.
The fourth section is as follows: 1t
shall be unlawful for any common carrier
subject to the provisions of this act to
charge or receive any greater compensa-
ton in the aggregate for the transporta-
ton of passengers or of like kind OF
property under substantially similar cir
cumstances and conditions, for shorter
than for a longer distance over the same
line, in the same direction, the shorter
being included within the longer distance;
provided, however, that upon application
to the Commission such common carrier
may, in special cases, after investigation
by the Commission, be authorized to
charge less for longer than for shorter
distances"

The House has agreed to the electoral
count bill reported from the Joint confer
ence, and doubtless it will pass the Sen
ate, which will put on record a very i'm
portant act.
The main point is that it takes away
from Congress any power to go behind
fair returns from the States, and thus al
lows the presiding officer of the joint
convention of the two Houses merely to
announce the vote for President and
Vice President, and let the facts speak
without any declaration Of who is
elected

The Senate agreed to reduce the appro-

The Senate agreed to reduce the appro-
eriation for the militia to 100000 This
looks like farce either in one way or an
other. The one hundred million surplus
stares US in the face, and the people want
some protection from rioters. They give
us 100000.
The point in all this militia business is
TO see that we have a real service uniform
without gilt or feathers, just as the Penn
sylvania National Guard Of twenty thou
sand men, and then you can get soldiers
to command and soldiers to serve who
can be relied on for an emergency, in
stead Of the idea being to offer pre-
MUM to men who want to wear feathers.

The Army Register, which will be out

There is nothing in the Constitution for
this that excludes thousands of young
men unless they come through Con-
CHEESEMAN'S channel of perquisites in

There are scores Of young men in the

claim to rank. Now, why cannot

The SIN thinks that unless Mr.. Ran
dalrs plan of abolishing the internal
revenue taxes is adopted the Republicans
will win in 1888. OF course all the
politicians think of the way to win an
election, and that is alleged statesman
ship. But to the average citizen in
these parts it seems just that the surplus
of one hundred million should be dis
posed of in a manner to represent a
tightening of the peoples taxes Every
man in buying an average article of ap-
parel, pays tribute 10 somebody that
represents the difference between the
American market and the market of the
world. Certainly we ought to assmilate
our values according to the general mart.
